I know this won't go down well with some/most Nintendo fans, but I'd love to see the arguments AGAINST my OP... This way mobile sales wouldn't detract from the 3DS, and Nintendo would earn money. Besides, these are games that Nintendo fans mostly don't care that much about (except Pokemon ofc ^^).
And as a Nintendo hater (j/k), what do YOU think if my arguments? Oh btw, I didn't come up with that pokemon idea *hint hint nudge nudge*

I've been told not to talk to you, "thief".

Whaaat?! I said I could credit her, but she wouldn't have none of that ^^ But I guess that one does what the misses says when you're pussy whipped a nice guy ^^

Fine,
I think Nintendo will *HAVE* to approach the mobile market, soon, to stay relivant, handheld market is shrinking but not dissapearing, theirs still space for them in the handheld console industry but that alone isnt enough to survive on, their home console prospects are a joke right now, and even if they scrapped it and tried to release something new all they would be doing is resetting their install base to zero with no guarantee that the new console would fare any better (and potentially has less chance to do so due to competition), that leaves them with a minimum 3 year wait for a new console release where the additional power to price prospects puts them in a position to steal some of the ps4/xbone thunder, but again, even this is at the risk of timing putting them in last place spec wise, if sony and microsoft were to even just tease something new within a year of that too.
Mobile is a market they could do well in, if they don't at least try, things are going to be extremely tough for them for the next 4-5 years.
